"The whole team at Rock Solid do an amazing job for us when our furnace quit working in the middle of a very cold week this spring. They were very prompt to come out and diagnose the problems we were having and got us a quote for a new furnace quickly and had us scheduled for the replacement in a timely manner. David and Jason came out and installed the new furnace and they did an amazing job! Overall we had a great experience with Rock Solid and will definitely recommend them to our friends and family."

"The service manager, Torrey, provided me with a wealth of information about thermostats, and outlined how we could troubleshoot the issue(s). They had a service technician at my home by 5:00, and Jeremy did an excellent job! Not only did I have heat, but also, he showed me how to reset the furnace in case it shut off during the night, and he promptly arrived the next day with all the parts needed to figure out what the problem was. I highly recommend Moore's--they're very professional and stand behind their work! There's nothing so lovely as the sound of a furnace running reliably in the winter! Thank you Moore's!"

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Big Lake, AK

Converting from an oil furnace to an electric furnace isn't a simple swap—the oil system needs to be completely removed before installing the electric furnace. You'll need a full electric system installation, but you might be able to reuse existing ductwork if it's up to current safety standards. You’ll need to budget for a new electric furnace installation, which costs between $1,800 and $6,200, including professional removal, proper disposal, and safe installation of the new system.

Electric furnaces are 100% efficient at converting electricity into heat. However, some of that heat can be lost as it travels through your home's ductwork or escapes through poorly insulated areas. That's why regular duct maintenance and proper home insulation are important to maximize your furnace's efficiency and reduce heat loss, ensuring consistent warmth and lower energy costs.

With proper maintenance, an electric furnace can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, outlasting the average gas furnace's lifespan of 15 to 20 years. To keep your electric furnace running efficiently, schedule regular cleanings, tighten connections, and have inspections done before winter arrives. With routine maintenance, you’ll ensure consistent, safe heating for years to come.

The size of the electric furnace you need depends on factors like your home's square footage, climate, and insulation quality. As a general guideline, those who live in warmer climates should multiply their square footage by 30 to 35 BTUs, while those in cooler areas should multiply it by 50 to 60 BTUs.

Consulting with an HVAC professional can help you determine the exact size that's right for your home.

An electric furnace works by converting electricity into heat using high-resistance heating elements. A blower then pushes the warm air through your home's ductwork, distributing heat evenly throughout your space. Since there's no combustion involved, electric furnaces eliminate the risks associated with gas furnaces and provide consistent, reliable heating when properly installed.

An electric furnace uses between 40 and 80 kilowatts per day to heat your home. The exact amount it uses depends on factors like your home's size, insulation, and overall energy requirements. Larger homes or those with poor insulation use more energy than smaller, well-insulated spaces. A professional furnace assessment can help confirm the ideal unit size for your needs.
